Bruce Dickinson - Man of Sorrows (Demo) lyrics

Here in a church, a small boy is kneeling He prays to a god, he does not know, he cannot feel All of his sins of childhood he will remember He will not cry, tears he will not cry Man of sorrows, I won't see your face Man of sorrows, you left without a trace A small boy wonders, what was it all about? Is your journey over - has it just begun? A vision of a new world, from the ashes of the old "Do what thou wilt!", he screams from his cursed soul A tortured seer, a prophet of our emptiness Wondering why, wondering why... Man of sorrows, I won't see your face Man of sorrows, you left without a trace A small boy wonders, what was it all about? Is your journey over - has it just begun? A man of sorrows racked, with thoughts that dare not speak their name trapped inside a body, made to feel only guilt and shame His anger all his life -"I hate myself!", he cried "Do what thou wilt! - do what thou wilt!", he cried Man of sorrows, I won't see your face Man of sorrows, you left without a trace A small boy wonders, what was it all about? Is your journey over - has it just begun? Man of sorrows, I won't see your face Man of sorrows, you left without a trace A small boy wonders, what was it all about? Is your journey over - has it just begun?
